I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 180 Sisters

Fei Xi slowly woke up on a luxurious and extravagant bed.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a dazzling light overhead, like a sky full of stars.

Above the dome hang nine pearl chandeliers made from the oil of merfolk from the South China Sea, each as large as a human head.

Under the lights, the ceiling, inlaid with various gemstones, resembles a galaxy sprinkled with stars, dazzling and beautiful.

Beneath her lay a fox-felt made from the softest downy fur from the belly of a mountain fox, while her body was covered with a cloud brocade quilt woven from gold thread and peacock feathers.

The headboard is made of ebony inlaid with a hundred flowers in full bloom, carved from various gemstones such as jade, pigeon blood ruby, lapis lazuli, and agate.

Before Fei Xi could take her eyes off the blood-red peony, she heard a voice call out, "Second Palace Master."

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome and clever young man standing by the door, bowing to her.

"Your Highness, the Grand Palace Master said that if you wake up, please go to the garden to find her."

After speaking, the man quickly bowed and disappeared through the door in the blink of an eye.

Fei Xi looked down at her body, her face full of questions.

She was now wearing a nightgown with an exotic flair, and apart from the Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist, all her previous clothing was gone.

If she weren't so intimately familiar with her body and certain that this was indeed her original form, she would have doubted whether she had been reborn or transmigrated into someone else's body...

If she is still herself, then where has she come from?

Before losing consciousness, she clearly remembered being swept into the sea by a giant wave.

Thinking too much was pointless, so Fei Xi jumped out of bed and examined her surroundings.

As soon as she got out of bed, she noticed something was wrong.

This room is spacious and bright, adorned with gold and jade everywhere, and is extremely luxurious.

But it was so bright that she didn't immediately realize that there were no real windows here.

The walls were made of jade bricks, square in shape. Different landscape paintings were outlined on the walls with gold leaf and jewels. One of them was a flower scene outside the window. Fei Xi looked at it and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Remembering what the man had just said, Fei Xi didn't hesitate at all. She slipped on her shoes and walked to the clothes rack.

A lake-green, pleated, phoenix-tail dress with flowing sleeves hung on the clothes rack. Fei Xi tried it on and found it fit perfectly.

After changing her clothes, she pushed open the bronze door with a dragon pattern.

Outside the door was a dark corridor, with a bronze animal head oil lamp hanging every three zhang at each end of the corridor.

In the dim light, Fei Xi could see that the walls and ceiling of the corridor on both sides were cut from large stones.

Indeed, this must be an underground palace.

Holding a candlestick, Fei Xi walked to the left along the corridor.

Along the way, she didn't encounter anyone, but she saw several doors that were exactly the same as the room she had come from.

She tried to open each room one by one, and most of them opened easily: some were filled with all kinds of spices, some with various silks and satins, animal furs, some with gold, jewelry and treasure chests scattered all over the floor, some with rare treasures and precious utensils, and some with bookshelves and large porcelain vases with paintings, the shelves filled with books and bamboo slips.

What surprised Fei Xi the most was that in a room that looked like a hall that could hold a hundred people, there were hundreds of cages containing all kinds of rare and exotic animals.

Legend has it that when the white tiger and white lion sense a stranger, they both turn their heads and bare their teeth at her.

However, Fei Xi couldn't open the doors to the rooms just before she exited the underground corridor.

She was outside the door when she smelled a faint scent of blood and heard soft sobbing.

But when she knocked on the door to ask if anyone was inside, the sound vanished instantly, and there was no response from inside.

There was only one passageway in the corridor, and after Fei Xi looked at the rooms that could be pushed open, she did not stop.

She continued forward and soon saw a bright exit ahead.

After her eyes adjusted to the glaring light, Fei Xi realized that she should still be underground.

The place at the exit is a small garden.

Flowers of all colors are in full bloom, making the garden a riot of color and a vibrant display of blooms.

If it weren't for the fact that what she saw when she looked up wasn't the sky, but rather the room where she woke up, with huge pearl lamps hanging everywhere, Fei Xi might have thought she was outdoors.

Following the cobblestone path, Fei Xi soon arrived at an artificial lake.

A pavilion stood by the lake, and inside, a beautiful woman in red was smiling at her.

"My dear sister, do you like everything your older sister has prepared for you?"

Upon entering the pavilion, Fei Xi remained silent, gazing quietly at the woman smiling radiantly at her.

The woman saw Fei Xi looking at her with a stern expression, the smile on her lips still present, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes amidst the stillness.

"Why are you looking at me like that, sister? Could it be that the servants did something wrong and displeased you?"

The woman clapped her hands as she spoke.

Before long, the handsome and clever man that Fei Xi had seen when she woke up knelt down on both knees, respectfully kneeling in front of Fei Xi and the woman.

"Greetings to the First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master."

"Fifth or sixth, did you take care of your younger sister after she woke up?"

"Yes……"

Before she could finish speaking five or six words, a "smack" was heard, and Fei Xi didn't even see how the other party made the move.

The man on the ground, who was called "Five or Six," was instantly slapped into the flowerbed.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, without even wiping the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth, Wu Liu shakily got up and knelt before Fei Xi again. His handsome face showed not a trace of hatred; his complexion was ashen, and he kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy in a trembling voice.

"Your subordinate...knows...you're wrong..."

The woman's eyelids trembled slightly, a fleeting hint of displeasure in her eyes. Seemingly still wanting more, she looked at Fei Xi again, her eyes carrying a seductive allure:

“Little sister, you still don’t seem very happy. It’s all my fault for always being too lenient and kind to these wicked servants. Since you’re unhappy and won’t forgive them, fine, I’ll kill him to avenge you.”

Before the woman could finish speaking, the five or six men on the ground suddenly leaped up and pounced on her with a move called "Black Tiger Strikes the Heart."

"You old hag, I've put up with you for far too long!"

The fifth and sixth attacks came fiercely, another unexpected move. It was thought the woman would have no chance of dodging, and even if she survived, she would surely be punished!

However, before the fifth or sixth palm strike could even reach its target, he was instantly kicked into the wall.

The impact was so powerful that he was embedded entirely into the wall.

When Wu Liu fell from the wall, he swayed and trembled as if his bones were shattered. But his strong will to survive forced him to prop himself up and shout:

"What are you waiting for? If we don't kill this old hag, we'll all die sooner or later!"

The room fell silent after those words were spoken.

But the next second, like oil being poured into a pot of water, dozens of people dressed like Wu and Liu appeared from all directions and attacked the woman and Fei Xi in the pavilion.
